[SlowProgress]

I pulled the A/C condenser unit back out after final fitting all the hard tubes. All I need to do on installation is just insulate them and they are ready to go. I bought a couple of crowfoot wrenches to make the removal/install easier. It is a piece of cake with the right tool!!



I always liked the original vents that came in the 67/68 Camaros with optional A/C. Spent quite a bit of time laying out the holes and getting the bezels to fit this weekend. I couldn’t find a decent paper template online. Even the Vintage Air template was pretty unusable. So, I made one out of thin galvanized and just reversed it on the opposite side. This took surprisingly more time than I thought it would because I didn’t want to screw up the cut. Because of the odd angles it takes a while to “sneak” up on the right size. If I had a small air saw it would have gone much faster.
Here are a few photos of the process.
















I also cut out the opening for the center vent. I like the looks of the optional 67 center vent. It goes well with the stock dash. Everything is just loose so it looks a little off in the photo.



There is nothing holding the little round vent in place without the factory ducting. I am going to decide whether to buy and try the factory duct, or fabricate one of my own.

I also spent a little time mocking up the radiator but didn’t get too far.
